Board 8 > [B8BOC] Board 8's Best Original Character, Day 1: Rayleigh vs. Obrov

(+) Yeah! (+)

RULES:
1. Vote for the character you like more. That's it.
2. Each user gets one vote per match (no alts). These are one-on-ones, after all.
3. Rounds last exactly 24 hours from the opening post and any votes thereafter will be disregarded.
4. A new match will be posted daily by Andy or Metalmind, with a break for Thanksgiving.
5. Each vote counts - the votes are what matters most. The match's winner will get bonus votes equal to 20% of the total votes in a match, rounded down. Both will get the bonus in a tie.
6. Characters will face off against every other character in their division once, with division champions (most total votes) moving on to the Finals and runners-up to the Wild Card. If there's a tie, the tiebreakers are 1) whoever has more wins and 2) average margin of victory.
7. The users who nominated each character will be kept hidden, as votes are for characters, not users. Users are forbidden from rallying, including posting additional propaganda that is not already in this opening post, as this can give their character an unfair advantage.
8. Please keep this topic bumped to the front page!

A note: I am posting two images for each because both have two. This will ONLY occur when both characters have two images. The italicized portion is the character speaking in their voice; everything below is additional notes.

Thats me. Gosh I dont know what to say. Um. Im a Physicians Assistant. I wanted to be a doctor, but couldnt afford medical school. I never had many friends in school because I couldnt stand how nobody wanted to get to know me as anything more than the hot girl on the chess team. Im glad thats changing, but Im too used to a small circle of friends. Relationships are more meaningful that way. All that notwithstanding, its my blood to help people. People tell me I overwork myself as if its a problem. All I need time for is video games with my foster brother, chess, yoga, and making people smile. And Im good.

-5'9", 143 lbs.
-1580 SAT score, IQ of 142

-Very modest about her body, but runs warm so she dresses light
-Wears a hat every day because she feels and looks naked without one
-Also enjoys cosplay, and isn't afraid to cover her face
-Logical and quick on her feet, but bad at selling herself

"Man, don't make me talk about myself, it's not a fun story to tell. Was born as a big, ugly fucker, and got abandoned for it. Fosters, teachers, kids... nobody was really a fan of me, but I still worked my ass off to try and make it through school, only to be taken in by an insane scientist. I thought I had found a home with him, only for him to use me as a test subject, warping my mind along with my face, and then discard me. I'm particularly strong and durable, so after dropping out I found steady factory work to get me by, living alone as the giant monster of the slums... Still, can't help but want to do something better. Find a way to prove I'm more than what my looks suggest."

-7'4", ~500 lbs.
-Combat oriented in the RPG he comes from, with partial invulnerability and a signature studded wooden club.
-Constantly wears a mask over his face. Underneath, it is horrifyingly deformed and covered in various burns and scars. Similar marks litter his body.
-While good at heart, he's a loner who is distrusting of others and easily angered.

oh yeah, one thing I forgot in the rules: Metal and I *can* vote here. Because we have characters in this, so it's only fair that we can support them, right?

But for the sake of fairness, I won't vote until the round is closed.

I like both of these but have to go Obrov.

I just feel like I get a better sense of his character.
